From American Psychological Science:
* * *
It's happened to all of us: While sitting at the conference table or at dinner party, a friend or colleague unleashes a questionable remark that could offend at least one person amongst the group. A hush falls and, if you're like most people, your eyes will dart towards the person most likely to take offense to the faux pas. It's a doubly unpleasant experience for the offended: Not only have you been insulted, but you have also suddenly become the center of unwelcome attention.
This almost instinctive stare toward the potentially offended has garnered the attention of researchers seeking to understand why this phenomenon occurs. Psychologist Jennifer Randall Crosby of Agnes Scott College and her colleagues created an experiment using the especially sensitive topic of race in order to take a closer look.
In a study appearing in the March issue of Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, the researchers had participants watch recorded discussions between four males (three White and one Black) that dealt with university admissions. In the course of the video, one of the white males makes this potentially controversial remark:
"I think one problem with admissions is that too many qualified White students are not getting the spots they've earned. These students work hard all through school and then lose their spots to members of certain groups who have lower test scores, and come from less challenging environments. They get an unfair advantage."
In one condition, an off-screen narrator explicitly states that all participants are involved in the discussion. In the other, the narrator states that only two of the discussants (both white) could hear what was being said. The researchers then tracked participants' eye movements as they watched the videos to examine when their gaze would shift toward the Black discussant.
Their results show that participants fixed their eyes on the Black discussant four times longer when they believed he could hear what was being said. According to the authors, this demonstrates that complex cognitive processes are work when we glance at potentially insulted persons. According to the researchers, "participants are simultaneously attending to what is said, who can hear what is said, the social identity of the listeners, and the possible reactions of the listeners."
Why we do this behavior is still a somewhat of a mystery, but the authors suggest that people may seeking out the responses of potentially victimized group members to help them assess the situation. "Additional research is needed to address these issues," write the authors, "but we believe this paradigm is rich with possibilities and can help illuminate how people go about answering the thorny question of what is appropriate and what is offensive."
When Imus mouthed off last year about the women's basketball team from Rutgers, the media looked to African-American intellectuals and female cultural leaders to determine whether his remarks — referring to the young athletes as "nappy-headed hos" — were his standard brand of on-air provocation or if he had in fact crossed the line into racism.
In 2002, when then Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott suggested that if separatist candidate Strom Thurmond had been elected President in the 1948 election, "we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years," we turned to prominent members of the black community to determine how far he had overstepped.
"There was a lot of conversation about whether he was a racist, or whether was he just ignorant," says Crosby. The ensuing cultural discourse, and subsequent condemnation of Lott's comments, fascinated Crosby, and prompted her research. "How do we figure out what is discrimination?" she asked. More blatant offenses or extreme examples such as hate crimes are easier to determine. Crosby, however, wanted to home in on the nuanced and ambiguous circumstances more common in everyday life.
In her latest research, currently under peer review, she asked students to fill out questionnaires about scenarios in which discrimination was possible but not explicit. A company remains open on Martin Luther King Day, or a police officer stops a black man whose clothing and hair match those of a crime suspect, for example. "They're ambiguous because we want more information," Crosby says. "If it's an ambulance company, you might want it to stay open," or if the person in question is actually the criminal, you would want him to be stopped.
Participants were asked to rate the discrimination on a scale from 1 to 9, where 1 represented no discrimination, and 9 definite discrimination. To gauge how people influence one another's views of discrimination, she made the questionnaires appear as if previous participants had filled out their answers on the same page. "When faced with responses attributed to a white individual, people averaged 4.4 when whites said the items weren't discrimination and 5.2 when whites said the items were discrimination. When the same responses were attributed to a black individual, the means were 3.3 and 6.1, respectively — a significant move from the baseline," she explains.
Consistent with her previous findings, non-blacks' assessments of the situations were strongly affected by whether African Americans had supposedly answered before them.
Crosby worries that this deference may mean we don't trust our own instincts when deciding what is offensive. As Benoit Monin, one of the study's co-authors, says, "That's great, of course, that downtrodden groups have a voice," but it also means that too often we may be leaving the responsibility for confronting discrimination in the hands of those discriminated against.
Crosby recalls an example of this from her undergraduate career at Stanford. The school's sports teams were called the Indians from 1930 to 1972, when the name was dropped because of protest from Native American students. Still, from time to time the former mascot would appear on t-shirts and paraphernalia — and each time it fell to Native American students to bring up their objections to the administration, Crosby says. "Why is it always their job?" she asks.

NEW YORK – Hello Giants fans, did you miss me? I have been taking a nice long break away from writing after winning the Championship and the emotional 2011 season. But I couldn't help writing something about Tom Coughlin winning the ESPY for Coach of the Year, something he really deserves both as a coach and a man. I'm starting to get the itch to write again and could not think of a better way to re-introduce myself to the New York Giants nation, then with a Tom Coughlin article. It feels good to be back.
Let me stop now and officially say, Congrats Coach!
If you ask me, it has taken the media, the football world and even a lot of the Giants fans, way too long to warm up and recognize how good Coughlin is. A lot of the drama is caused by the morons at the major sports shows. The two Super Bowl wins in five years cannot be denied, they will win a third and be named a dynasty and you will still show no love, so let it be known then. I am very excited for this year and to see what a healthy squad can do over 16 games. This is a dangerous team when fully healthy and they just won the Super Bowl with a depleted roster. How about Jason Pierre-Paul? B-E-A-S-T! I'm going to predict he gets over 20 sacks in 2012. I think rookie RB David Wilson is a very intriguing subject and so is WR Rueben Randle. I'm looking at DT Marvin Austin, CB Prince Amukamara, WR Ramses Barden, TE Martellus Bennett, TE Travis Beckum and WR Domenik Hixon to see what they can do. A lot fans are watching, even though they may be quiet right now but we are all rooting for you guys to have huge seasons. And so is Tom Coughlin and the front office. These guys can make a huge difference in the 2012 season when healthy and clicking with their teammates. They need a shot to do that.
I have always been a big fan of Coach Coughlin, I was never one to criticize him for bad games. By the way, at 65, Coughlin becomes the oldest coach to ever win the award. I have been vocal in the past about OC Gilbride and not caring for some of his play calling. I think this offense is a dynamic but steady OC away from winning two more Super Bowls. The G-Men have the talent, that is for sure, they could be a top offense for the next four to six years if utilized properly. I'm sure of two things about Coach Coughlin, one he is a football guy and two, he is a New York guy. He also looks out for the military and works with the Jay Fund charity, founded in 1996. As most of you know, even his son-in-law is a football player. Giants Pro Bowl OL Chris Snee. Snee will be included in the Giants 'Ring of Honor' once he finishes his career with Big Blue and forever be considered one of the best Giants lineman of all time. Without coaches approval, I doubt this marriage would have ever happened, so it's nice to know that Coughlin is a good judge of character too. I love that the Giants owners continue to reward Coughlin on production with contract extensions, something else he deserves in my opinion. I look forward to seeing Coach on the sidelines for many years to come in the future and enjoy continued success under his watch.
How do you feel about Coach Coughlin winning Coach of the Year?

Yesterday's presidents race auditions brought 55 finalists to the Washington Nationals former home, RFK stadium, to see if they had what it takes to don a giant president head and race from the outfield to home plate.
Ian Koski at Nationals Pride put together a terrific little video highlighting the presidents race audition experience, and featuring Steve Roche, Nationals Mascot Coordinator:
Teddy Roosevelt was noticeably absent. Could it be that the privilege of donning the esteemed Teddy costume is being reserved for the 20 winners? Not so, says Washington Nationals spokesman Tom Davis. "He needs to rest up," Davis told WTOP News. "He's had a rough couple of years. He's looking to get back in shape."
Congratulations to the new squad. See you at Nationals Park next month!

Crews dig through night after deadly Okla. twister
MOORE, Okla. — The search for survivors and the dead is nearly complete in the Oklahoma City suburb that was smashed by a mammoth tornado, the fire chief said Tuesday.
Gary Bird said he's "98 percent sure" there are no more survivors or bodies to recover under the rubble in Moore, a community of 56,000 people.
His comments came after emergency crews spent much of the day searching the town's broken remnants for survivors of the twister that flattened homes and demolished an elementary school. The storm killed at least 24 people, including at least nine children.
Every damaged home has been searched at least once, Bird said. His goal is to conduct three searches of each location just to be sure. He was hopeful the work could be completed by nightfall, but the efforts were being hampered by heavy rain.
No additional survivors or bodies have been found since Monday night, Bird said.
Earlier in the day, the state medical examiner's office cut the estimated death toll by more than half. Gov. Mary Fallin vowed to account for every resident.
"We will rebuild, and we will regain our strength," said Fallin, who went on a flyover of the area and described it as "hard to look at."
Amy Elliott, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner, said she believes some victims were counted twice in the early chaos of the storm that struck Monday afternoon. Downed communication lines and problems sharing information with officers exacerbated the problem, she said.
"It was a very eventful night," Elliott said. "I truly expect that they'll find more today."
Authorities initially said as many as 51 people were dead, including 20 children.
New search-and-rescue teams moved in at dawn Tuesday, taking over from the 200 or so emergency responders who had worked all night. A helicopter shined a spotlight from above to aid in the search.
Many houses have "just been taken away. They're just sticks and bricks," the governor said, describing the 17-mile path of destruction.
More than 200 people have been treated at hospitals.
The National Weather Service said the tornado was an EF5 twister, the most powerful type, with winds of at least 200 mph.
The agency upgraded the tornado from an EF4 on the enhanced Fujita scale to an EF5 based on what a damage-assessment team saw on the ground, spokeswoman Keli Pirtle said Tuesday.
The weather service says the tornado's path was 17 miles long and 1.3 miles wide.
Emergency crews were having trouble navigating neighborhoods because the devastation was so complete, and there are no street signs left standing, Fallin added.
Other search-and-rescue teams focused their efforts at Plaza Towers Elementary, where the storm ripped off the roof, knocked down walls and turned the playground into a mass of twisted plastic and metal as students and teachers huddled in hallways and bathrooms.
Seven of the nine dead children were killed at the school, but several students were pulled alive from under a collapsed wall and other heaps of mangled debris. Rescue workers passed the survivors down a human chain of parents and neighborhood volunteers. Parents carried children in their arms to a triage center in the parking lot. Some students looked dazed, others terrified.
Officials were still trying to account for a handful of children not found at the school who may have gone home early with their parents, Bird said Tuesday.
Many parents of missing schoolchildren initially came to St. Andrews United Methodist Church, which had been set up as a meeting site. But only high school students were brought to the church, causing confusion and frustration among parents of students enrolled at Plaza Towers. They were redirected to a Baptist church several miles away.
"It was very emotional — some people just holding on to each other, crying because they couldn't find a child; some people being angry and expressing it verbally" by shouting at one another, said D.A. Bennett, senior pastor at St. Andrews.
After hearing that the tornado was headed toward another school called Briarwood Elementary, David Wheeler left work and drove 100 mph through blinding rain and gusting wind to find his 8-year-old son, Gabriel. When he got to the school site, "it was like the earth was wiped clean, like the grass was just sheared off," Wheeler said.
Eventually, he found Gabriel, sitting with the teacher who had protected him. His back was cut and bruised and gravel was embedded in his head — but he was alive. As the tornado approached, students at Briarwood were initially sent to the halls, but a third-grade teacher — whom Wheeler identified as Julie Simon — thought it didn't look safe and so ushered the children into a closet, he said.
The teacher shielded Gabriel with her arms and held him down as the tornado collapsed the roof and starting lifting students upward with a pull so strong that it sucked the glasses off their faces, Wheeler said.
"She saved their lives by putting them in a closet and holding their heads down," Wheeler said.
The tornado also grazed a theater and leveled countless homes. Authorities were still trying to determine the full scope of the damage.
Roofs were torn off houses, exposing metal rods left twisted like pretzels. Cars sat in heaps, crumpled and sprayed with caked-on mud. Insulation and siding was smashed up against the sides of any walls that remained standing. Yards were littered with pieces of wood, nails and pieces of electric poles.
President Barack Obama declared a major disaster and ordered federal aid to supplement state and local recovery efforts.
"Among the victims were young children trying to take shelter in the safest place they knew — their school," he said Tuesday.
The town of Moore "needs to get everything it needs right away," he added.
Obama spoke following a meeting with his disaster-response team, including Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and top White House officials.
The Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., forecast more stormy weather Tuesday in parts of Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and Oklahoma, including the Moore area.
Monday's tornado loosely followed the path of a killer twister that slammed the region with 300 mph winds in May 1999. It was the fourth tornado to hit Moore since 1998.
The 1999 storm damaged 600 homes and about 100 businesses. Two or three schools were also hit, but "the kids were out of school, so there were no concerns," recalled City Manager Steve Eddy.
At the time of Monday's storm, the City Council was meeting. Local leaders watched the twister approaching on television before taking shelter in the bathroom.
"We blew our sirens probably five or six times," Eddy said. "We knew it was going to be significant, and there were a lot of curse words flying."
Monday's twister came almost exactly two years after an enormous tornado ripped through the city of Joplin, Mo., killing 158 people and injuring hundreds more.
That May 22, 2011, tornado was the deadliest in the United States since modern tornado record keeping began in 1950, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Before Joplin, the deadliest modern tornado was June 1953 in Flint, Mich., when 116 people died.

Sarah Palin and the Barcelona football team are among the new figurines in the 2011 Caganer.com collection. Hiding Caganers in nativity scenes is a strong Christmas tradition in Catalonia, Spain, dating back to the 18th century. The defecating figurines symbolise fertilisation, hope and prosperity for the coming year.
The traditional Caganer is portrayed as a Catalan peasant, but since the 1940s figurines of nuns, devils, the Pope, celebrities, historical figures, politicians, and both Spanish and British royalty have been introduced. In 2011, the first moving Caganers were launched.

The Washington Nationals confirmed today that racing president Teddy Roosevelt would be held out of tonight's presidents race at Nationals Park, marking the third straight race without fan favorite Teddy.
A spokesperson for the team told us that Teddy re-aggravated his hamstring injury from a few weeks ago. "He is getting treatment and we hope he'll be back in the race by the weekend."
The mysterious injury was first revealed on September 6, when it was announced to fans at the Park that Teddy had been injured during pre-game warmups. Roosevelt returned the next night and competed in the next 4 races, looking good and even finishing first on September 8, only to be disqualified from that race for cheating. However, Teddy has not appeared since that homestand ended on September 10. Unconfirmed rumors suggest that the hamstring story is a Nationals cover up for a wardrobe malfunction.

Obituary: Alvin Boretz (1919-2010)
July 30, 2010
Alvin Boretz, a prolific dramatist of early television, died on July 22 at the age of 91. Boretz claimed to have written over 1,000 radio and television plays. "From the very beginning I had a good reputation," he said, "I was always getting work. I never had to look for it."
After working his way through school (seven years of nights at Brookyn College) and serving in the Army Air Corps during World War II, Boretz got his first writing job in 1945 after he answered an ad in the paper. It was a radio gig, and for the rest of the decade Boretz penned scripts for Five Treasury Salute, Big Town, Front Page Farrell, Big Story, and (for producer Steve Carlin, later a figure in the quiz show scandals) Five Minute Mysteries. His first paycheck, for $60, was signed by radio pioneer Himan Brown, who preceded him in death by just over a month.
"Radio was great because you went in and you created a whole world," Boretz said.
Big Town and Big Story transitioned successfully into live television, and they took Boretz with them. Both were newspaper dramas, Story an anthology and Town a crime drama that starred Patrick McVey as a racket-busting editor. Boretz expanded his catalog to include Treasury Men in Action, which like Big Story was produced by the brothers-in-law Bernard Prockter and Everett Rosenthal. Appointment With Adventure, Justice, and another Prockter production, The Man Behind the Badge, followed. In 1952, Boretz watched an unknown actor named James Dean audition for one of his scripts for Martin Kane, Private Eye. Dean was fired by the director after two days of rehearsal, but he later starred in "The Rex Newman Story," one of Boretz's Big Storys.
Though Boretz never joined the first rank of the live TV playwrights, he logged hours on some of the most prestigious anthologies, including Philco Television Playhouse, Kraft Theatre, and The Alcoa Hour.
"Alvin was a professional, no-nonsense writer," said producer Bob Markell. "He knew the problems of making TV, and he accomodated the problems, not worrying about whether it was great art or not. He had no pretensions. More often than not, the shows were good shows."
In the early days of live television, the writer was a welcome presence at the table reading and the rehearsals of a script. Boretz took full advantage of his access. "I used to sneak an actor away from the producer and say, 'Listen, do me a favor. When you play this part, do this, do that, do that,'" Boretz recalled. "If the producer knew I was doing it, they'd kill me. But I couldn't help it, because I wanted to protect my work."
Boretz spoke with a loud Brooklyn accent; he sounded like the actor Joseph Campanella. The writer Harold Gast remembered Boretz as "a smartass." He described an obnoxious gag Boretz would use at parties: He would grab someone by the arm and give it a vigorous shake. The greeting was a pretext to cause the other man to spill his drink.
But Boretz's aggressive personality was a key to his writing. He told me that
I'm a big talker, so when I meet guys, I'll take a guy to lunch and tell him this idea that I have. What do you think of it? "That's not a bad idea." I'd say, Well, how would you go about doing this or go about doing that? I would bleed them a little for ideas. Then I would take them to lunch. I belonged to the Princeton Club. Not that I went to Princeton; I went to Brooklyn College at night for seven years. But the guys at the Princeton Club invited me to join because I was a good squash player.
Boretz got the idea for one of his Armstrong Circle Theaters, about a banker who was "a crook, a thief," from a Princeton Club acquaintance. (This was 1963's "The Embezzler," starring Gene Saks.) Armstrong was Boretz's most important early credit. When David Susskind took over production of the show in 1955, he gave the anthology a distinctive identity by turning it into a showcase for ripped-from-the-headlines, current-events stories. The scripts utilized dramatic devices borrowed from newsreels and documentaries, something Boretz had already been doing on Big Story. These were "strong, honest stories," in Boretz's view. Between 1958 and 1961, he penned nearly every third Armstrong segment.
For Armstrong, Boretz wrote about con men, prison reform, highway safety, compulsive gambling, and single parenting. The Cold War was Armstrong's bread and butter, and Boretz's scripts on that subject included "The Trial of Poznan," about the 1956 uprising in Poland. Jack Gould, the television critic for the New York Times, wrote that
The best part of his play . . . was its depiction of the contagion of freedom. The two defense attorneys, who had expected to follow orders as usual, one after the other became interested in putting up a genuine defense. Next it is the judge who, having granted some freedom, cannot be sure when to stop and finally exercises his own authority. Finally it is the prosecuting attorney who realizes too late that freedom cannot be turned on and off at will.
Boretz won a Harcourt Brace Award for "The Trial of Poznan," which cashed in on the anti-communist hysteria of the late fifties and also subverted it to deliver a progressive message. It's a good example of how Armstrong (and David Susskind) navigated the crazed political atmosphere of the times.
Boretz claimed that he was "never stupid enough to join the Party." But his politics tilted leftward and he believed he had a "narrow escape" from the blacklist. A sword hung over his head that had nothing to do with his politics. His cousin, Allen Boretz, a famous playwright and screenwriter, was blacklisted. Alvin was twenty years younger and barely knew Allen, but he spent the McCarthy era fearing that someone would mix up their names and blacklist him too. At one point his friend Abram S. Ginnes, another Armstrong writer who was graylisted, asked Alvin to put his name on one of Ginnes's scripts so that it could be sold. Boretz refused. "Fronts" sometimes followed the men they stood in for onto the blacklist.
Of all his work, Boretz was proudest of his association with Playhouse 90, even though he wrote only one script for it. "It was a classy show," Boretz said. His episode, "The Blue Men," was a police procedural that the producer, Herbert Brodkin, spun off into a half-hour series called Brenner. Boretz served briefly as Brenner's story editor (Earl Booth replaced him), and went on to write for Brodkin's next two series, The Defenders and The Nurses.
One of Boretz's closest friends in the business was a writer named Allan E. Sloane. Similar in background and temperament, they both commuted to work from Long Island and for a time shared a pied-à-terre in Manhattan. Boretz and Sloane had something else in common, too: Each of them had an autistic child, and each dramatized aspects of that experience in his television writing.
When The Defenders debuted in 1961, Boretz was deeply offended by the premiere episode, "The Quality of Mercy." Written by Reginald Rose, the series' creator, this infamous "mongoloid idiot baby" show concerned an obstetrician (Philip Abbott) who euthanizes a mentally retarded newborn. In examining the issue from all sides, Rose declined to condemn the doctor's action. Boretz crafted a response of sorts in the form of "The Forever Child," a segment of Brodkin's medical drama The Nurses. Earnest and compassionate, "The Forever Child" debated the merits of home schooling versus public education for mentally challenged children. Boretz's script emphasized the crushing fatigue experienced by the parents of such children.
"The Forever Child" drew upon research Boretz had done for "The Hidden World," a 1959 Armstrong show about Iowa's Glenwood State School for the mentally retarded. It wasn't the only time he returned to his Armstrong work for inspiration. One of his three Dr. Kildares, "Witch Doctor," resembled "The Medicine Man," an Armstrong exposé on quack doctors. Another, "A Place Among the Monuments," depicted a duel of wills between Kildare and a suicidal young woman (Zohra Lampert) who resists his efforts to counsel her. It was a reworking of "The Desperate Season," an Armstrong about a suicidal college professor (Alexander Scourby) who receives successful treatment for his depression.
Dr. Kildare, one of Boretz's first Hollywood credits, led to work on other West Coast doctor shows: The Eleventh Hour, Breaking Point, Medical Center. Boretz ended up using his pseudonym ("Roy Baldwin") on all three. "I carefully documented the case histories of my fictional patients, but the story editors put up an argument," Boretz told a reporter in 1965. "My name, to me, has value. It's all I've got."
Like a lot of New York-based writers, Boretz struggled against the more commercial and less collegial circumstances of television production on the Left Coast. Never willing to relocate, Boretz slowed his output somewhat as he wrote for Laredo, Mod Squad, Ironside, The Rookies, and Kojak from afar. He had a role in developing The Amazing Spider-Man for television in 1977, and wrote a pair of exploitation films (including Brass Target, for his old friend Arthur Lewis, the first producer of The Nurses). One of his final credits – or, rather, Roy Baldwin's – was the TV movie and hopeful pilot Brass, starring Carroll O'Connor as a New York City police commissioner.
Brass was shot on location in Manhattan, but Boretz's real New York swan song may have been his five (out of forty-nine) episodes of N.Y.P.D., the gritty half-hour cop show that ran from 1967 to 1969. Bob Markell, the show's producer, remembered that
when I was doing N.Y.P.D., I convinced Susskind and Melnick [the executive producers] to let me go out and shoot what I called stock footage, so that I could use that any time I wanted to. Fire trucks, ambulances, things like that that you could cut in. One day, Susskind, or Danny [Melnick], said to me, "What are you going to do with all this stock footage you got?" I said, "I don't know." I called Alvin up and said, "Alvin, I shot all this stock footage. You want to write a script around it?" He wrote a hell of a script. I loved Alvin.
All five of his scripts are winners; Boretz had a real feel for the sleazy two-bit criminals on whom the show focused. "Case of the Shady Lady" had the cops untangling a knot of suicide, murder, and extortion among a rich playboy (Robert Alda), an wide-eyed B-girl (Gretchen Corbett), and an obnoxious club owner-cum-pimp (Harvey Keitel). "Private Eye Puzzle" gave Murray Hamilton an amusing star turn as an oily P.I. "Who's Got the Bundle?" was a cat-and-mouse game between cops and crooks searching for a missing $150,000. The money ends up with a pudgy cab driver who crumples as soon as Lt. Haines (Jack Warden) questions him. M. Emmet Walsh, new on the acting scene but already middle-aged, hits the right wistful note as he delivers Boretz's monologue explaining why the cabbie kept the loot:
Twenty-two years. That's how long for me, twenty-two years. Cab driver. You know, I listen to the radio: Fly here, fly there. Fancy millionaire stiffs me out of a tip. Then a guy puts a knife in your neck and he takes it all. Then yesterday morning, suddenly, like from heaven, a gift. I opened it in my apartment. I s'pose I knew all the time I wasn't going to have it. I mean, after twenty-two years . . . .
In March of 2003, I visited Alvin Boretz in Woodmere, a town on Long Island where he had lived since at least the early sixties. What ensued was a very uncomfortable conversation. Boretz was suffering from symptoms of Alzheimer's or dementia, and he could recall his career in only the most general terms. Alvin would try to cover the gaps by changing the subject or repeating something he'd just told me, and I did the best I could not to let on that I noticed any problem. The quotations above represent almost all of what I could salvage.
"He wasn't like this six months ago," his wife, Lucille, told me as she drove me back to the train station. Rarely have I been made so aware that my work is a race against time. Lucille and Alvin Boretz were married for 68 years.
Thanks to Jonathan Ward for his assistance with some of the research.

Strategy is Not Long-Range Planning, Vision, Mission, or Values
A strategic initiative is a response to performance gap. It's purpose is to close it. A leader of a strategic initiative needs to watch out for the "fluff" of attractive artifacts like mission, vision, values, and long-range plans.

Trading Post: Cold weather calls for cakes, soups
Temperatures are dropping. It's the season for warm foods and heavier recipes.
Toni McCue of Springfield, Ill., shares a caramel cake recipe that she calls "one of the best cakes I've ever made in my life." It comes from Maya Angelou's "Hallelujah! The Welcome Table."
The second recipe, for taco soup, comes from Cathi Elliott of Morton, Ill. She calls it "a very good soup for an autumn evening" and even won a soup cook-off with the recipe.
1 stick butter
1 1/4 cups sugar, divided
1/4 cup caramel syrup (recipe below)
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1 cup whole milk
2 eggs
Caramel syrup:
1 cup white sugar
1 cup boiling water
Caramel frosting:
6 T (3/4 stick) butter
8 ounces powdered sugar, sifted
4 T heavy cream
1 1/2 t vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 375 F. Line two 8-inch layer-cake pans with greased waxed paper. In large mixing bowl, beat butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1/4 cup caramel syrup (recipe follows).
In medium mixing bowl, sift flour, baking powder and salt together. Gradually add sifted ingredients to creamed mixture, alternating with milk.
In separate mixing bowl, beat eggs about 3 minutes until foamy. Add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until mixture is a fine spongy foam. Stir into cake batter just until blended.
Divide batter between cake pans. Bake for about 25-35 minutes, depending upon oven (cake should spring back when touched). Cool 10 minutes; turn cakes onto racks, removing waxed paper. Cool completely.
To frost: Place 1 cake layer on cake plate. Cover top and sides with frosting. Place second layer on top; frost completely.
To make caramel syrup: Heat sugar in heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Stir constantly until melted to a brown liquid. When it bubbles over entire surface, remove from heat and slowly add boiling water, stirring constantly. Pour into container and let cool.
To make caramel frosting: Brown butter in heavy pot over medium heat. Allow butter to cool. In large mixing bowl, add powdered sugar, cream, vanilla extract and salt to the butter; beat until smooth. If frosting is too stiff, add 1 tablespoon whipping cream to thin.
Makes 8 servings.
1 pound ground beef, browned
1 can hominy
1 can whole kernel corn
1 can pinto beans
1 can Great Northern beans
1 package taco seasoning mix
1 package ranch dressing mix
1 can diced tomatoes with onions and celery
1 can diced tomatoes with green chiles
Brown ground beef, add the remaining ingredients including all liquid from canned ingredients. Simmer about 20 minutes. Serve with grated cheese, sour cream and tortilla chips.
Makes about 12 servings.

In all the time I've been pitching old computers as viable machines, I've never taken up the issue of what you can actually do with an old computer.
There are two reasons for that. First, it's been beaten to death. Every blog in every corner of every Web page has a list of wacky ideas for old computers. Hamster cages. Barbecue grills. Bird nesting boxes. Kitchen clocks. You name it. Search for "old computer" on Ixquick and you get a frothy mess of blogs and know-it-all Web sites giving you ideas.
Second, it's not my goal to give you ideas for an ancillary machine. It's my goal to keep you from buying a new computer in the first place, because your old one can do the job just as well, you just have to be open minded about it. 😉 So really, I don't want you to look for ideas for an old computer. I want you to use it like it's a new one.
All the same, I get e-mails asking for ideas. So I thought I'd pool together some of my own, along with some I culled from elsewhere. Some of these things I've done, and some just sound like good ideas. Maybe one will sound good to you too. Enjoy.
First, if you must get rid of it completely. …
Convert to cash. This is kind of a weird suggestion, but before you do anything with your computer, you should see what you have. You might have a piece of junk in your hands, and if it's some kind of wacky home-grown computer, it probably is junk. But if you have an old IBM Model M keyboard connected to it. … Congratulations: You just made $100 on ebay. Find out what it is, what it's worth and if you should hold on to it.
Give it to a geek. Provided you're not a geek already, find one and see if you can foist it on to them. Most geeks can be found … well, actually, most geeks can't be found outside their dens, except if there's a fire drill. Ask around and if you can triangulate the location of a geek in his or her natural habitat, see if they want your machine. Most geeks consider gifts to be romantic overtures, but make it clear that it's just a castaway. You won't hurt their feelings.
Recycle it. Most big-name sellers have recycle programs now, although some, like Dell, are generally only interested in their own branded machines. (Edit, 2010-01-03: Apparently Dell will take any brand of computer for recycling now. That's a welcome change. 🙂 ) I suppose that's okay, since they'd be picking up some weird stuff if they didn't draw the line somewhere. Also check around for your local Free Geek group, and remember that sometimes charities will take computers as donations, like cars. Whatever you do, make sure your computer doesn't end up in a landfill in a third world country. IT crud is somehow making its way into small African nations, dumped into pits and left to decompose. Maybe that doesn't bother you, but considering that the average CRT has up to 8 lbs. of lead in it, it's not environmentally — or ethically — conscientious. Let's not turn the developing world into a garbage pit, friends.
But if you're willing to keep it around. …
Torrent slave. You probably already know what I'm talking about. If you don't, read this post and this post, then come back here. It's a sign of the times that torrent traffic has become so popular. I don't care if you've got a 75Mhz Pentium in the closet: If you can get some version of Linux on there, you've got a primo torrent slave.
Jukebox. Here's one idea that gets thrown around a lot, and that's because it makes a lot of sense. If it has a sound card, it's a great jukebox. And if you can get some sort of Linux working on it, you can at least get cplay going, if not some other audio application. Hook it up to your home network and listen to music from one room to another. Is it a laptop? Great, it has a built-in visualiser panel. I used to take a Presario 1020 to work just to play tunes, and it drove the tech staff crazy. Everyone else was jealous.
File server, printer server or NAS. Another old chestnut, but again, there's a reason for that. Most machines that you find "too slow" for desktop use are acceptably fast as servers or network storage. Take out the GUI and suddenly it's a speed demon again. Link up a series of machines with NFS and get everybody using the same stuff, and quite easily. Want an idea how to do that in Ubuntu? Look at this.
Web design and development. So long as you're hooking it up as a file server, you might as well make it into a full-fledged in-house Web server, particularly if you're into Web design. Test at the local level, before moving your site out into the real world. Build a wiki. And remember that some very, very slow machines work well as Web servers. Like the old 286 Web server.
FTP for fun and profit. Again, so long as you're setting up a server, put together an FTP site. I used to run a live vsftpd server off a 300Mhz machine with no hard drive, just to transfer large files between me and my brother. He could sign in, drop off his file and I'd copy it elsewhere. Turn it off, and it's gone. Easy as pie.
Put on a white hat. And so long as you're creating an off-the-grid server, you might as well learn how to break into it. Cut your teeth in the security field by keeping yourself out of your own machine. And really, does it matter a lot if your old computer is compromised by you?
Do something noble. Talk is cheap, and everyone pretends to be an Internet superhero. But if you want to put your money where your mouth is, if you really want to impress the babes, consider setting up a machine to run as part of the Tor anonymity network. You'll be helping out people who live under oppressive governments and rely on the system for free and unfettered access to information, and at the same time doing something that might make you feel good about yourself. There are lots of ways to get started with this, the project home page is probably the best place to look first.
Run a media server. This is a bit esoteric, but there are utilities and distributions aimed specifically at hoarding files of any type, organizing them and — best of all — giving you access to them through a networked Web page. In other words, you don't have to set up anything except install the package, start the process and then point your browser at the machine. Instant and painless. For ideas, check out gmediaserver, mediatomb, ushare and some others. And don't forget: If you have a console gaming system, this is the perfect idea.
Local repository. This works especially well if you have two or three machines running the same distro, although there's no reason why you can't mix and match too. Instead of updating each machine over a network, set up one machine to synchronize itself with the repositories, then relay your updates to the next ring of machines, from within your own network. You'll cut your bandwidth demands at a factor proportional to the number of machines you have. And a network administrator somewhere on the planet will sing your praises.
Automatic compiler. This is similar to the last one, in that if you use a distro that builds from source, it should be simple matter to synchronize with a distant repository, then automatically update. From there, serve the updated packages to other machines on your network. And what does it matter if the machine is slow and takes longer to build? If it's living in the closet, no one will notice. For ideas on this one and the previous one, take a look at this.
Guinea pig. If the server industry doesn't enthuse you, consider other ways to use your computer as a test subject. Take it apart. Put it back together. Find a tutorial on computers and experiment with it. Overclock it. What's this button do? Consider the last great act of your old computer to be teaching you about computers. It's also good to keep a spare desktop around for testing used parts. If you have one that's fairly flexible, you can use it to troubleshoot hardware problems.
Cannibalize it. Better than throwing it away is to put some of the parts into another machine. Why have only one hard drive, when two are twice as nice? Got an extra CDROM? Put it into another machine and copy-on-the-fly. Double up on memory, if it's compatible. It might make things faster, too. (Of course, it might not.)
Upgrade it. Take this one with a grain of salt. If you're computer is junk, then parts are probably going to be cheap. If it's still a little valuable, then parts might be a little more money. If it's really old, upgrading is going to be ridiculously expensive. There's a funny price curve attached to computer parts. It starts high, falls after a few years, bottoms out after about six, then suddenly spikes again around 10. So depending on how old it is, you might be putting more money into it than it's worth.
Firewall. Ah, yes, the old firewall suggestion. Yes, it's possible, and there are Linux distros that are made specifically for this purpose. To be honest, I don't know of anyone — I mean personally — who dedicates an entire outdated PC to firewall duty. It's too easy to get a $50 router with a 24V AC adapter, cross your fingers and hope it keeps the bad guys out. However, it's a great learning experience and a good use for an outdated machine. Consider it.
Cluster it. Get two or three or ten of the things, rig them all up together and start crunching numbers. OpenMosix is designed just for that purpose. Now before you start buying pallets of Pentium II machines off PublicSurplus.com, remember that clusters don't always behave like a single computer. In other words, ten 166Mhz machines are not necessarily as fast as one 1.6Ghz machine, except under certain circumstances. And really, if you daisy-chain ten Pentium Pro machines together in hopes of playing Frozen Bubble on the collection, your electricity bill is going to be horrific. 😯
Give it to the kids. Oh yeah. That one. Yes, I'm sure your kids really want to play Snowfight on your old 233Mhz laptop. Let's face it: All the "kids" I know are too busy with Star Wars Galaxies, and your old Pentium II ain't going to cut it. And don't give it to your teenager to "do their homework on." Your teenager knows junk when he sees it, and a "gift" like that is just going to trigger another episode of angst. Unless, of course, your teenager is a geek, in which case he or she has probably already commandeered your old computer. So yes, you could try to give it to your kids, but don't be surprised if they use it for a bookend.
Use it for a bookend. No, let's skip that one.
Gaming hub/LAN party server. I can't speak to the effectiveness of this one, but I'll mention it because I've seen it listed elsewhere as an option. I think it might depend on the game, the number of players, the hardware, the speed of the network, and so forth. It sounds like a possibility to me, though. I leave it to you to find out how well it works.
Your own personal Internet radio station. I had a friend who ran a streaming audio server off his home network, then could access the stream and listen to his own music collection while at work. It was an exceedingly cool setup, and if it wasn't for his rather bizarre taste in music, I might still be tuning into it. It's supposedly easy to set up (warning: that's an old thread), but I've not done this either.
Remote PIM. No matter how old your machine is, I can almost guarantee that it can handle a slew of console-based information applications, and do it without breaking a sweat. In that case, something like wyrd or alpine or any of a dozen other task and to-do managers are ideal, not to run on your main machine, but to be accessed remotely, through ssh. Put your personal information manager in the closet, let it run all the scheduling and note-taking applications, and access them from a terminal screen on your big rig. Resource demands are minimal for both machines, and you don't risk losing your address book if you accidentally delete your entire home directory. 😐
Capture cartoons. I've heard about setting up a personal video recorder, but it only vaguely interests me since I'm not much of a TV-watcher. There are a variety of TV-in cards you can get, some quite cheap. And just about every model has a howto in the forums, so search around in there until you find some instructions for your card and your release. Let me know if it's worth trying. 😉
Moving pictures. It's an odd concept, but one that might appeal to you, particularly for an old laptop with an LCD in good shape: Load up some of your favorite photos, install a program — or a screensaver — that will loop through them, then mount the little devil on a wall or shelf … or in a shop window. Video gamers know what attract mode is — this will do something like it. You can also set one up as a rotating weather map, if you don't have any family photos you care to advertise.
Emulation station. The beauty of an old machine is that it's still logarithmically faster than a C-64. Get VICE going, or pick another emulator that reminds you of your younger days. There are Apple ][ emulators, Atari 800 emulators, 68k Mac emulators, Nintendo DS, Sega Genesis, DOS emulators — you name it. But don't ask me about those other machines. I'm a Chickenhead. You won't catch me playing anything but Bruce Lee. 😈
Legacy gaming. Along the same lines, you can usually run old Windows titles from within wine, and not have nearly as many complications as trying to install Windows 95 (now with USB support! 🙄 ). Go into the basement and get out all your old Win98 games, and spin them up again. And if you were ever a Tribes player … you still are. (And by the way, if you can get the new, free releases of Command & Conquer running in Linux, let me know how you did it. It's not happening for me. 😦 )
Movie machine. I've watched DivX movies on 300Mhz machines inside X with mplayer, and you can even throw a movie up against the framebuffer of a still-slower computer, and watch movies or DVDs that way. Old laptops are excellent for this; it's one of the reasons I keep a spare to the side of my bigger machine — so I can watch movies while I moderate.
Internet phone. Another one I've heard about, but haven't done. If your machine can handle Skype or Ekiga or even Google voice chat, you might as well set it up to run solo, and let your big rig relax. Personally I don't like telephones much more than televisions, so for this one, you're on your own.
Renderer. If you do 3D work or animation, which requires heavy processing over long periods of time, you might want to relegate the task to the old machine. Granted, a slower CPU might take longer to finish the job, but if that's all it's doing, and you don't mind waiting, then why not? Dump the work on the old machine and you can go back to playing Bruce Lee. 😉
Distro-hop. This is my favorite thing to do with an outdated machine. Get yourself a rewriteable CD, download a few ISOs and try them out on an older box. See how well — or how badly — they perform. Keep a blog of your adventures and let your experience guide and instruct others. And when you feel really daring, start working on Gentoo or Linux From Scratch. That will be not only useful, but educational too.
Search for aliens or fold proteins. A friend used to run a beat-up old laptop from the top of a bookshelf in his basement, running only the BOINC client. Whether you use it to cure cancer or to search for E.T., it's a great way to donate your processor to a worthy cause.
Finish the band's first album. Since there are plenty of applications that work as synthesizers, drum machines or for looping effects, you can pursue that musical career you always knew you were destined for, with your old K6-2 as the backup singer. Rehearse, record, release. Just don't quit your day job yet. 😐
Get all artistic and stuff. After you've recorded your opus, strip the machine down and learn how to mod it. Try out paints and LED effects. Throw a water cooling system into your old Packard Bell 486. Make a Lego case for it. Because you know what? Even an ugly 333Mhz Aptiva modded to look like the MCP tower from Tron is WICKED COOL. 😯
Finally, keep using it. I said at the start that I don't really like the idea of pushing an old computer out the door, just to make space for a new one that happens to work a little faster. I would prefer you took the time and learned how to keep your machine useful, and maybe hold on to it for a few more years. Fact of the matter is, I don't have a computer that's younger than seven years old, and I haven't run into anything that I needed a newer one for. Try out alternative desktops. Lighten the load a little. Set up a strictly GTK1.2 environment. Experiment with so-called "lightweight" distros. Be open-minded and try new applications with lower system demands. Better yet, code some new ones that fit your needs and don't bog down your machine.
What you do with your computer is up to you. But remember that there are a lot of options available to you, if you're willing to keep it around. I'd highly recommend that. 😉

Green Tea, originally from China, is making fast inroads in the West where black tea is traditionally consumed. Many scientific studies have been made to determine the truth of its oft claimed health benefits. There seems to be a correlation between regular tea drinking and a lower rate of heart disease and tea may even stimulate fat oxidation, while boosting the metabolic rate by as much as 4% without raising the heart rate.
Why are we posting about green tea, which we've mentioned before on these pages? We received quite a few emails asking for a Green Tea Cake recipe, after looking at various posts throughout the blogosphere we settled for this one (it sounds interesting and delicious!). Found it on the Dessert First blog:
Green Tea Cake with Red Bean Filling
Green Tea Genoise
2 eggs, room temperature
2 ¼ oz confectioners' sugar
2 ¼ oz ground almonds
1 tsp matcha powder [powdered green tea]
1 oz all purpose flour
2 egg whites, room temperature
1/8 tsp cream of tartar
1 oz sugar
½ oz butter, melted [substitute margarine to keep it parve]
Red Bean Filling
1 cup heavy cream
6 ounces red beans
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a half sheet pan (about 12″x16″) with a sheet of parchment paper or a Silpat.
Combine the eggs with the confectioners' sugar and ground almonds in a mixer until cream-colored and light.
Add in the matcha powder and combine. You can add more or less depending on your taste, but don't add more than 1 ½ tsp or it might affect the cake's texture.
Remove from the mixer. Sift the flour over the egg mixture.
Whip the egg whites in a clean bowl on a mixer at low speed until they start to froth. Then add the cream of tartar and increase mixer speed, whipping until stiff peaks form. Add the sugar and whip for a few seconds longer to incorporate.
Scoop about 1/3 of the egg whites into the egg mixture and fold in gently with a rubber spatula. Add the remaining egg whites and fold in until uniformly mixed. Pour the melted butter over the batter and fold in to incorporate.
Pour the batter into the half sheet pan and distribute it evenly with an offset spatula, making the layer as level and smooth as possible.
Bake in the oven for about 6 to 8 minutes, until the cake is just firm and lightly brown but not completely brown as this cake should not be over-baked.
Remove from the oven and run a knife around the edges of the cake to loosen it. Slide the cake off the sheet pan and onto a wire rack to cool. When the cake is no longer hot but still warm, place another rack or sheet pan on top of the cake and flip it over, then carefully peel the parchment paper from the cake to prevent it from sticking to the cake. You can place the parchment paper clean side down or a clean Silpat onto the cake, then flip it back over to finish cooling.
When you are ready to assemble the cake, trim off the edges and slice the cake in half along the short side, then cut each piece in half along the long side so you get four 6″x8″ pieces.
Whip the cream to soft peaks. Fold in the red beans gently with a rubber spatula until they are evenly distributed; the cream may take on a light reddish tint.
Place cake layer on a covered cake round and frost the top with a quarter of the whipped cream. It's ok if some of the cream goes over the sides; just try to keep the layer even.
Cover with a cake layer and frost the top with a third of the remaining whipped cream. Repeat until you have assembled all four layers of cake.
Cover the cake and refrigerate overnight.
When you are ready to serve, trim off the sides of the cake to make them nice and even.
Enjoy, gentle reader, enjoy!

This post does not contain images because I don't want to animate the stereotype, but in Google image searches for "Sapphire" and "Angry Black Woman," Michelle Obama was prominently featured.
In a brilliantly provocative paper at ASALH this year, Dr. Gwendolyn Pough invited us to rethink the black woman stereotype of Sapphire, the emasculating black bitch who's always ready to fight. Pough notes that the "angry black woman" is the least investigated of the stereotypes of black women and the one people are most likely to assume is true. Pough's paper was a jumping off point for a lively discussion about the political utility of black women's anger and the questions it raised reverberate in my mind. Beverly Guy-Sheftall, also had the uses of anger on her mind and wrote a piece for Womenetics, imploring black women to get angry and use their intellectual gifts to create the world we want.
Anger has been a really tough emotion for me to grasp. When I was little, my anger wasn't valid because I was a child. As I got older, the sapphire script was something I actively avoided. It seemed that as a dark skinned black girl, I was always already being told that I was angry. I smiled a lot. I learned to self silence to the point that I don't even always tell friends when little things hurt my feelings. I didn't express anger, opting for sadness with no tears, as opposed to righteous indignation.
On a recent flight from Ithaca to Atlanta, I was subjected to additional searching. This included the TSA officer taking my lunch, a burrito, out of the paper bag it was in and swiping the chemical detection cloth over the paper bag and foil covered burrito, putting the burrito into the small tray for wallets and pocket change and running it through the conveyered x-ray machine two times. Needless to say none of the other passengers I saw who had food were subjected to the same. I was livid. Ithaca has a small airport and all the other passengers on my flight witnessed this extra search of my things. I was so flustered, I dropped my hat and it was the other black passenger who pointed to where it was. I was hot with anger and embarrassment but I didn't say anything. I called a friend and we discussed the incident briefly, coming up with non-confrontational things I could have said like, "Wow, so people are trying to hide things in food now?" I couldn't think of anything in the moment. I swallowed the incident down and boarded the plane.
I worry about this now default reaction of mine when confronted with moments like this. While the incident itself wasn't physically violent, I felt it in my body. I got hot; my stomach churned. I had some kind of internal reaction the incident that left me feeling unwell. This doesn't happen every time of course but microaggressions are sometimes so frequent, it's hard to gauge their impact. There are black women and other women of color in my life who have had bouts with or sucumbs to cancer that I link to this swallowing down of the daily assaults on our personhood. It adds up and that ish is toxic.
Sheri Randolph, a panelist with Pough, also mentioned colorism as it related to anger as the people mentioned in the talk, Melissa Harris Perry, June Jordan, Audre Lorde were all lighter skinned Black women whose anger erupted in the public sphere. Was/is there more room for their anger than mine? I try to think of dark skinned black women's anger in public and how it is read and what seems to be different is the assumption of anger initially. Michelle Obama has perhaps never lost her cool but is always already assumed to be angry. But as an audience member in the room said, "Anger darkens," meaning any expression of anger moves you further to the dark side of the color line. Both Jordan and Lorde died of cancer though, so whatever room they had was not enough.
One audience member during the session reminded us that because even speaking directly or pointedly as a Black woman is read as anger, many of us hold back and suppress feelings in general. This silence won't protect us but it seems like it is harming us as well. This blog is a safe space for my anger but I need more than this corner of the internet to unfurl my tongue and release my truths.

According to Frozenbyte's Mikael Haveri, compared to the other HD consoles on the market, Trine 2 expansion Goblin Menace's graphics are best on Wii U. Haveri believes that Trine 2: Director's Cut requires a considerable amount of processing power and, therefore, would have to be downscaled if it were to release on PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360. Trine 2: Director's Cut launches November on the Nintendo eShop and includes a new mode called "Magic Mayhem," which is designed exclusively for Wii U.
"Basically that does require… well, not huge amounts more graphics processing power, but still considerable. If we would publish that on the other consoles, then I believe that there would be some small downscaling of what it is right now."
"I think we didn't start really until sometime early in the year still, but the fact was that we had a lot of things going on. Then when we got over the old things, we started with the Wii U and then in two days we had it running," he explained. "We had it running really fast. So it was more about knowing your own tech and then having that 'eureka!' moment of making it work on this new hardware."

I just added this new product last week and ordered one immediately for my daughter. I must say it looks great, and she absolutely does not want to take it off. She wore it to bed, and took it to school the next day (even though it was 90 degrees in DC)! I will have to take a photo of her in it for letteddywin.com.
The Let Teddy Win kids hoodie is made of soft, 100% cotton fleece and will be perfect for night games at Nationals Park — especially early in the season.
The Let Teddy Win presidents race store is still a work in progress, but boy am I glad I decided to use cafepress. They are really easy to work with and the merchandise is really of high quality. The direct printing looks good and appears to me as if it will last forever. If I were looking to build a money-making business I might not use them, because they take most of the $$, but I'm just looking to cover my costs and have fun here and promote Teddy to win the presidents race without investing too much money.
